5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent home colour laser printer, February 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: HP 2500L Color LaserJet Printer (Office Product)

The HP LaserJet 2500L hit the right price point for us when we decided to purchase a new printer. We also decided to go out and get Apple's new AirPort Xtreme base station to replace our older base station (because it did not have the USB port to add our new printer). Let me tell you, it was a snap! Running Jaguar (Mac OS 10.2.3) with Rendezvous, we did not have to do *ANY* configuration whatsoever (Yes, zero) to have all our wireless computers (Three PowerBooks and an iBook) plus our ethernet wired PowerMac G4 be able to print to this machine! It is great because now we can print from anywhere in (or out) of the house without having to be thethered down by cables and/or deal with any configuration nightmares.

The printer does a wonderful job, and it gets 2 thumbs up from me! Great printing quality at a great price too. Even if it's a bit over your budget for a printer, it's worth it. Our old one was a 8-9 year old HP LaserJet 4L that I had through college. The advantages of a colour laser over a colour ink jet are substantial:

Better quality than injets, no smears or runs, or messy cartridges that, in the long run, will ultimately cost you more in dollars spent, and needless trips to your Office Depot for more ink. I certainly value my own time and hassle-free computing experience. I would recommend getting this printer, and at the same time, you pick up one of Apple's AirPort Xtreme Base Stations. It also works just fine for all of our Windows PC friends out there too!

Finally, the only drawback is that this printer is --more than a tad-- on the loud side.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice try, April 4, 2003

I like that this is a real toner laser printer as opposed to one of those wax-type printers and that it is pretty fast. Drivers are OK but could use some help (I'm using win2000). Of course the price is great for a color laser!

Didn't like that it is kinda loud - can't print after family goes to bed! Also, it is not picture quality. The colors are sometimes WAY off, the drivers have no adjustment for this and the quality is like a magazine print - nasty dot effect. Finally, the toner rubs off on light colors! Really wierd.

In conclusion, I should have bought a simple B&W laser and a color Inkjet Photo printer to serve my needs. My wife says I'm not allowed to make this sort of purchase anymore and is confiscating the credit cards after this one! :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars Taking it back, April 26, 2003

HP misses the mark on this one. Took hours to set up. Could not connect with USB on Windows XP. "24 hour" HP tech support closes at 5. Clearing paper jams requires removing major components. The unit churns, clangs, and roars like a beast. Print quality is okay, however.
